It’s important that all of our Public PSCs or Contractors looking into working in this sector are aware of legislation changes to IR35. An interesting new development just out…..Watch out for retrospective IR35 inspections after the legislation hits on April 6th.

Personal service companies deemed inside the public sector’s April 6th off-payroll rules risk having their entire history of contracts probed under IR35, not just those after the date.

Most at risk of being investigated under IR35 retrospectively are the ‘pre-April 6th’ contracts the PSC has with the public client, who deems the rules to apply to the PSC ‘post-April 6th.’

This was the assessment yesterday from three separate experts on the incoming rules; status advisory Bauer & Cottrell, IR35 reviewer Qdos Contractor and contractor trade group IPSE.
